The bill The truffle areaswhich is the DCE Prime hill district introduced, has been officially drawn up. The aim of this draft is to identify the Italian areas where the high quality white truffle (Tuber Magnatum Pico) grows, recognize and protect. A delegation from the Acqualagna region, accompanied by representatives of the Truffle Fair, will travel to Vienna to seal this important step that unites Italy and Austria in the creation of global guidelines for the valorization of truffles.
Austria, together with Italy, will become a patron of this initiative, which aims to strengthen the protection and reputation of truffles worldwide and raise them to a level of global excellence, similar to the “Cru” designations in the wine world. The aim is to protect truffles from globalization, which threatens their quality and uniqueness, and to make Italy a stronghold for their protection.
This year there were three Prime hill districts Recognized: Alba (DCE 1000), Acqualagna (DCE 2000) and San Miniato (DCE 3000), each with specific regional characteristics that influence the quality and taste of the truffles. This classification makes it possible to precisely identify the production areas, from provinces to individual hill plots. The DCE numbering will be used to classify additional districts that will be recognized as early as next year.
In celebration of the recognition of the Prime hill districts An exclusive reporting event will take place from October 7th to 9th in Acqualagna, the white truffle capital. Star chefs such as Stefan Griessler, Julian Lechner, Francesco Milicia and Lukas Nagl as well as specialist journalists will explore the world of truffles in all its facets. This journey takes participants from truffle hunting in the forests to tasting this delicacy paired with fine wines. Acqualagna, classified DCE 2000, is one of the most important centers of national truffle production and represents two thirds of Italy’s truffle production for international markets.
The city will also host the 59th National White Truffle Fair, which will take place on October 26th and 27th and November 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 9th and 10th, 2024. This event offers a unique opportunity to experience up close the excellence of Italian truffles, along with the traditions and gastronomic culture that surround them.
As every year, Luca Miliffi and his team will present the Truffle Tour in 2024, but this edition will be marked by an important innovation: the launch of the new Miliffico brand, which will come to the market gradually. The brand will first be introduced to truffle lovers and then officially unveiled with a grand launch party in January 2025 to ring in the New Year in style. Due to high demand and the risk of overbooking, early booking is strongly recommended for all events.
